International disease monitoring - Qualitative risk assessments

When Defra is officially notified of a new disease incident in an EU Member State, a country on the border of the EU or one of the UK’s third country trading partners, we carry out a qualitative risk analysis. This is based on the general principles of the OIE risk analysis framework. Qualitative Risk analysis of disease outbreaks in countries outside the UK Adobe acrobat pdf file (37 KB). Defra asked risk analysis experts at the Royal Veterinary College to assess our approach to risk assessment (RVC review of qualitative risk assessments).
